In-Text Citations & Paraphrasing

In-Text references make it possible for you to give credit when you use others' words, facts, or ideas as they appear in your writing.  APA style uses parenthetical notations to identify the source (author's surname), date the source was published, and the specific location (page reference if it's print material) from which you borrowed the material.

Please see the document below for more information.

References

Information about the source you use in your work are included on a separate page at the end of your assignment.

Please see the resources below to find out more information about the format of your References page and an example References page.

Online Resources & Citation Generators

There are many great online resources available to help you find out more about APA Style.

I (Katie Black) recommend:

Purdue Owl Writing Lab

There are also a lot of citation generators available to help you construct your reference sheet.

Please be aware that they are not always accurate!

Here are a few:
